WELCOME TO CHAPTER 14!
This chapter has a bit of delay before the actual Tower of Heaven arc.
You'll see what happens.
YOU READ NOW!
Team Natsu and Grim were walking down a dirt road on their way to the next town in order to catch a train. The train they had been on broke down (much to Natsu's delight.) and they had decided to walk the rest of the way.
"Say Lucy..." Said Grim marching down the path and swinging his arms.
"Yeah?"
"So I heard that your writing a novel right?" He asked
"Er... Well yes... But I can't decide wether or not to kill off a character or not..." She mumbled.
"Yeah killing a character can be good or bad. I could lead to a protagonist gaining a resolve to try harder at what he/she is trying to accomplish or it could lead to angry readers at times." He said as Lucy looked at him surprised at his literacy knowledge.
"How do you know so much about writing a novel?" She asked
"Well I'm writing a novel too. It's about three idiots who are part of a powerful group of people and they change the lives of those people and others." He said winking towards you the reader.
"Sounds interesting." Said Lucy confused as to who he was winking at.
Suddenly there was a loud cawing noise from the sky and the group looked up to see a messenger bird coming towards them.
"Anybody expecting mail?" Asked Grim
Everyone shook their heads as the bird landed on Grim's shoulder and handing him a rolled up piece of paper. As the bird flew off Grim unrolled the piece of paper as the rest gathered around him.
"Dear a mister Grim Dragneel,
those of us in the magic council have been alerted to your help with the growing demon population as well as your efforts to stop the corrupted dark guild master Jose.
As you have shown this remarkable progress we congratulate you in your steady growth and it has come to the council's attention that there is a blank spot in the role of Wizard Saint due to the fall of Jose.
If you wish to accept this offer please proceed to the nearest town-hall and ask for the use of the thought projection lacrima.
-Magic Council"
Everybody stood in shocked silence. Then after a long moment had passed Grim had disappeared from the group.
"Huh? Where did he go?" Asked Happy flying around trying to scout out the missing Mage.
"Look there." Said Erza pointing towards a cliff wall that had a Grim-shaped hole in it.
"Where the hell is he going?" Asked Gray scratching his head.
"Well... On the map it says that a nearby town is in that direction..." Said Lucy holding a map.
"Looks like he's going to accept." Said Natsu with a large smile.
The group began to make way up a long path going over a mountain before seeing a small town within a lush green valley. They started to head down hoping to catch up with the beelining Mage.
WITH GRIM
'MUST GET TO TOWN-HALL!" He yelled in his mind. He was running up a path dolling the directions that signs he passed said and was making way to the center of town when.
BAM!
He collided with someone with pink hair and red tips and fell to the ground on his back as things spilled from the pockets of his coat.
"Owowowowowowo..." Said the person in front of him. He stood up to get a good look at them.
It was a girl with long pink hair that went below her waist where the tips became red.
She seemed to be wearing a dark blue leotard and puffy black tights that reminded him of a ninja. (Great now he head the image of Natsu with his scarf around his head saying nin-nin.) speaking of scarves the girl had one too, it was a deep red color and seemed to catch the wind perfectly. She also had some wolf ears and a wolf tail but he was distracted by the her eyes... The only part of her face he could see since the scarf was covering her mouth.
He finally noticed the stuff that had fallen from his pockets.
"MY SNACK FOODS!" He yelled trying to gather his food.
The girl looked up and saw a jar of peanut butter lying against her foot.
"AAAHHH PEANUT BUTTER GROSS!" She yelled power kicking the peanut butter into the sky where it twinkled like a star.
"NO MY PEANUT BUTTER!" Yelled Grim with tears running down his face.
"Now then..." Said the women turning towards Grim.
"Huh?"
"Apologize for running into me."
"Why?"
"Because it was you fault."
"Meh. Good point I'm sorry I was busy trying to find the town hall so that I could become a Wizard Saint." He said surprising the girl.
"Your going to be one of the ten Great Wizard Saints?" She asked taking a step back.
"Yup I must need to contact them." He said gathering his stuff and putting them back in his pockets.
"Well I can show you the way." She said taking his hand and pulling towards a main road.
"Gee thanks... So your a wizard then?" Said Grim as he was led up the road
"Yeah I'm Konoka Saniyome. I use a sword and a scythe for battle and can call on multiple different magics if I need to. But I still need to join a guild." She said.
"Cool. You should join fairy tail." Grim said
"I would want to but I don't know how to get in."
"Well you go to the guild...open the doors... And walk inside."
"I doubt it's that simple."
"Meh. Worked for me, Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and others."
"WHAT? YOUR A MEMBER OF FAIRY TAIL!?" She yelled at him grabbing him by the collar.
"Yup let me introduce myself: I am Grim Dragneel The Devil's Executioner." He said getting up and continuing forward.
"Yeah right. I'm not an idiot I'm not going to believe your a member of fairy tail just because you say so." She said and stopped and stared at Grim who had removed his jacket to show the massive black fairy tail mark on his back. Below it though was another mark: one of a skull in a hood with crossed scythes behind it.
"What's the other mark?" She asked now curious.
"Nothing." He said coldly as his eyes turned mirror-like.
They walked on in silence until they reached the town-hall.
"Thanks for helping me." Grim said as he walked in.
"Your welcome, see you in fairy tail." She said as she turned and walked toward the train station.
AN HOUR LATER
Grim stepped onto the train and found his group... Sitting with Konoka.
"Oh Grim! Nice to see you again!" She said as Grim crossed his arms and leaned on the doorway to the booth-like area that is on trains and stuff.
"Yo. I guess introductions aren't needed?" He said smiling.
"Grim! Guess what!" Cried Happy as he landed on Grim's head.
"What?"
"Lucy is weird." Said the cat as Lucy glared at him.
"Yes she is." Grim said patting Happy on the head and laughing.
"So... Konoka where are you headed?" Asked Grim.
"Well I need to get to magnolia to join and this train goes there in a few stops." She said
"Cool." He said and went to sit between Erza and Konoka.
Erza leaned on his arm and closed her eyes and before long fell asleep. Grim looked up to see Natsu resting peacefully on Lucy's breasts with Happy in his lap snoring away.
He looked over and saw Konoka dozing off. He smiled as she leaned on him while sleeping.
He tilted his head back and fell asleep entering his mindscape.
"Well Grim quite the company huh?" Asked the demon in the cage
"Not today I'm to happy to be bothered by you he said as the bars of the cage thickened into concrete walls where only muffled screams of rage were heard.
End
Say hello to Konoka, she is an OC sent in by Taliaem. A big thanks to her.
Goodbye readers.
